Event
Move beyond vanity topline metrics. Discover how Sanketdigital.ai empowers retail CFOs to plan Like-for-Like (LFL) growth using real-time regional benchmarks.
Moderator: Ramdas Parmeswaran, CFO, Innoviti Technologies
The role of the retail CFO is expanding well beyond traditional financial stewardship. Rapid growth in digital payments, the increasing complexity of refunds, settlements and reconciliation, evolving payment economics, the rise of AI, growing sustainability commitments, and the need to preserve consumer trust are all reshaping how finance leaders plan, manage risk and support business growth.
The discussion will cover how CFOs are responding to a changing payments landscape - from navigating payment complexity and evolving UPI economics to applying technology and AI for better reconciliation and decision-making. It will also examine the growing role of sustainability in finance and how businesses can adopt emerging technologies and payment models while preserving the trust of their consumers.
Underlying many of these decisions is one critical requirement: better and faster visibility into what is happening beyond the organisation's own numbers. Internal sales and financial data can explain how a business is performing, but external market benchmarks provide the context to understand whether a change is specific to the business or reflective of a wider shift in consumer demand, categories, geographies or payment behaviour.
This is where the RAI-Innoviti SANKET Report becomes relevant. Based on payment and consumption trends across 2,800+ towns and 10,000+ PIN codes, SANKET gives finance leaders an external view of category performance, regional demand shifts, and changing payment-mix trends, helping them turn market signals into more informed business planning decisions.
This panel will help financial heads appreciate the power that internal metrics can gain with external benchmarks from over 2,800+ towns and over 10,000+ PIN codes. It covers how AI, with the help of the SANKET Report dataset, can provide answers to real-time questions related to the performance of categories, changes in demand in zones, and trends in the payment mix.
Use Sanketdigital.ai to find out how your store stacks up against other stores in terms of trends within the category in your region. The chatbot extracts data from the SANKET Report database and tells you where your store is underperforming or overperforming compared to the average in your region.
Real-time answers grounded in actual consumer spending across categories, geographies, and payment instruments.
